From 2006 to 2012 five major shipping companies were in a cartel meaning that the cost of shipping new cars and vans into the UK and Europe was higher than it should have been. New car and van buyers were the victims of the cartel and should be entitled to claim that money back. Mark McLaren is a consumer champion who has dedicated a large part of his career to fighting for consumers, across a wide range of sectors. Mark has set up a not-for-profit company – Mark McLaren Class Representative Limited – specifically to bring a claim against the five shipping companies. Mark is the only director and only member of the company. Mark has instructed Scott+Scott UK LLP as solicitors for the claim. Scott+Scott is a specialist dispute resolution firm, with extensive expertise in competition litigation. Scott+Scott is working with a very experienced barrister team from Brick Court Chambers, one of the leading sets at the Bar.
